After lots of hard work this week, we had the privilege of bringing 13 souls unto Christ! We baptized a mom, Maria Rosa with 6 kids, Gisele, Marlon, Tiago, Lucas, Gislane, and Mateus; 2 neighbor kids, Ana and Jo\u00e3o (who have parents who are in the prosess of getting married); a young girl, Sarah, who is a friend of a member; Isabel and William, who are friends of my recent convert Edimario; and Luzinede who is engaged to a member.<\/p>\n
It was a lot of hard work, but it sure paid off! \u00a0We broke 2 mission records! The record for baptisms in one day, which was 11 but now 13, and the record for baptisms in a zone in one day, which was 18 but now 21.<\/p>\n
I am definitely seeing the Lord’s hand in the work here. When we do our part, the Lord does His!<\/p>\n
I, the Lord, am\u00a0bound\u00a0when ye do what I say; but when ye do not what I say, ye have no\u00a0promise. \u00a0D&C 82:10\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Have a great week!<\/p>\n Love,<\/p>\n Elder Olsen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After lots of hard work this week, we had the privilege of bringing 13 souls unto Christ!
